Gary Neville was discussing the impact of the postponed Everton vs Liverpool match on Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League title race. He spoke about the unfortunate weather in England compared to Palm Springs.
Gary Neville said “That’s life sometimes, we don’t have the weather you do in Palm Springs in the north of England, unfortunately!”
Reflecting on the significance of the Merseyside derby postponement for Liverpool, their potential relief, and the disappointment of missing out on an important match, Neville touched on the historic importance of playing at Goodison Park.
Gary Neville said “They [Everton] had a good win in midweek, Liverpool obviously travelled up to Newcastle so they may have felt it was a good time to play them. It is what it is and they have to get over that. The last Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park would have been a very special day, so there will be disappointment all round because psychologically they’ve all prepared for this game, the players and the fans. Even Liverpool fans, they respect the fact it is a historic ground and playing there for the last time is a big occasion.”
Gary Neville spoke about how the recent results in the Premier League gave Arsenal and Chelsea a chance to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool, with the potential to narrow the lead further psychologically impacting the chase.
Gary Neville said “I think to get within four points psychologically, it’s a big thing for those clubs.”
